Welcome to NEW HEIGHTS OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Based out of Lethbridge, Alberta, New Heights Occupational Therapy offers compassionate, non-judgmental support for women at every stage of life, with a focus on pregnancy, postpartum, and parenting, including areas such as maternal mental health, breastfeeding, infant and child picky eating, toilet training, sensory issues, and more.

My vision is strong, confident, and fulfilled moms and women!

Are you struggling with the enormous transition into or through the many stages of motherhood? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, rage or dealing with loss, burnout, or trauma? Maybe you're dealing with the loss of someone really special to you? Feeling bored and lacking meaning in your days as your children seem to need you less and less? Feeling overstimulated and exhausted without energy to do the things you love anymore? Are you finding it overwhelming parenting a child with medical or developmental challenges, ASD, ADHD, sensory issues? If this sounds like you,

Motherhood is filled with conflicting emotions, imbalanced hormones, changing routines, and massive physical, cognitive, emotional, and social shifts. Many new mamas struggle with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and/or mourn the loss of their freedom and old identity.

We are here to support you through every step of your motherhood, from prenatal, postpartum, parenting, through to perimenopause! I specialize in wellness for both you and your baby or child - holistic support for your entire family to thrive and get back to living fully!

You are
not alone.

Mom and baby group wellness classes

I am a dedicated and experienced maternal mental health occupational therapist with advanced training in Perinatal Mental Health Psychotherapy and over 25 years of experience working with children facing various medical and developmental challenges. My additional training in CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and Mom Parts IFS enables me to offer comprehensive support to moms and women.

My  personal parenting journey did not start out with endless hours of gazing into my baby’s eyes and maternal bliss. I struggled HARD with breastfeeding and my unrealistic expectations of myself. I developed Postpartum Depression and Anxiety. It felt like I was walking through quicksand; no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get on top of the exhaustion or overwhelm of caring for my baby.

The challenges I faced with inadequate care have fueled my dedication to supporting both new and experienced moms. I am devoted to offering compassionate, holistic support to guide you through the complexities of motherhood and rediscover the joy in your journey, so you don't have to go through what I did.
